3. Happiness

Translator: Shirley-Zou

One night four years ago, a luxurious car drove from the orphanage and carefully ran along the muddy and bumpy road.

The car ran slowly and cautiously, for fear that it would touch the weeds on both sides of the road.

There were two ragged and dirty little girls sitting inside the car, who were both five years old.

When the two little girls got onto the car, they were still in a dreamlike trance, especially the envious stare of those children behind them, which made them feel nervous and excited.

They had finally been adopted by someone from a rich family.

Before then, they didn’t even have a complete name. The people in the orphanage called them “the elder girl” and “the younger one”.

They were lucky but also unlucky. They were sent here the day after they were born and they couldn’t be adequately fed in the old orphanage, let alone wear beautiful clothes and shoes.

The children couldn’t get along well with each other, especially when an adult who might be willing to adopt a child appeared, the children would always put up a fight.

Fortunately, the rich man chose them.

They finally had their home!

Even if they had just gotten into the car and hadn’t seen their home, the little girls had a sense of happiness in their eyes that couldn’t be concealed.

In the moonlight, the car ran along a wide road and sped away.

It was unknown how long it had been running. After a long time, the two little girls got rid of the cautiousness on their faces and dozed off like a chicken pecking rice. Only when the driver coughed softly did they wake up.

The scenery outside the car changed from barren and desolate trees into a beautiful world with brilliant colors under the lights.

With the light of the lamp, there was a very majestic metal door in front of them. When the car entered, it even bypassed a beautiful garden, fountains and artificial mountains that they had never seen before. Finally, it stopped at a white-colored villa which was like a castle.

Was this a palace from fairy tales?

The two girls were stunned. They didn’t come back to their senses until the driver got off the carriage and opened the door.

“Come down. Here we are!”

The face of the driver in black clothes was stiff and serious. His natural sense of pressure made the two girls more cautious and nervous, and they hurriedly crawled out of the car confoundedly.

The scenery that was seen through the window of the car was different from that while standing inside.

That beautiful castle, the dreamlike fountains and artificial mountains not far away made these two five-year-old girls feel joyful.

Was this their home?

Their home was so beautiful!

Would they live here like the princesses in the fairy tale and live a happy life?

“Follow me. Don’t run around!”

The driver in black expressionlessly

walked forward. He held a bag in his hand. They knew that the documents in it were related to the adoptions.

Those thin pieces of paper could determine their fate!

These two little girls still felt a little nervous with excitement in their hearts.

They were already brought home, so wouldn’t they be sent back again?

They cautiously followed the driver into the gate of the castle. When they saw the gorgeous and splendid house, their eyes lit up.

They wanted to size it up, but didn’t dare to enjoy it wholeheartedly. Because they didn’t know whether they would be considered to be naive if they got lost and whether they would be sent back to the indifferent orphanage.

They didn’t dare to be careless. They followed up the spiral staircase, passed through the long corridor and stopped in front of a beautiful door.

The driver raised his hand and knocked on the door. His respectful attitude was totally different from the way he spoke to the director of orphanage, “Boss Huo!”

“Come in!”

The voice behind the door was low and attractive, and there was a hint of laziness in the dignity. It was like the sound of heaven in the ears of two little girls.

Was it the person who had adopted them?

They didn’t know what he looked like!

With growing expectations, the two little girls were both nervous and excited.

When the door was pushed open, the light in the room was not as bright as the sun, but it made people warm and comfortable.

“Have you brought them here?”

When the two little girls followed the driver to enter the room, they were attracted by the man sitting on the sofa.

The man had delicate and exquisite features, with half-dry black hair. There was a good smell of shampoo in the room.

He leaned against the back of the sofa. The white-collar of his bathing robe was very low and his wheatish complexion could be seen, which was as bright as the jade under the light.

There was a faint smile on his face, showing a hint of laziness with temptation.

The two little girls were in a daze and waited for their fate with butterflies in their stomachs.

Would they stay here?

His piercing gaze didn’t fall on them at all, but his pleasant voice rang again.

“Open the documents for me!”
